Last night was sweeps for my scratch league.  I brought additional equipment since the 6PM league swept last week and would not start up again until next week.  This not being my home center, I was uncertain what kind of oil would be out there.  

I started with the usual PDW and it seemed to like the condition.  Game 1 starts with a double and an open in the 3rd, a 4-7 I got sloppy on.  I did keep it clean the rest of the game and shot 231.  Not a bad start to sweepers.

Game 2 clean, spare, 6 in a row and a mix of marks for a 247.  Sweeps is looking even nicer, not to mention that elusive 700 is a good possibility.

Game 3 starts with a turkey, spare and a mix of marks.  It gets to the 9th and I know a strike will make the 700 really attainable.  I got the strike.  10th a strike all but guarantees the 700.  I was actually calm going up and got the strike.  Now all I have to do is keep the ball on the lane.  I get a 9 count spare for a 714.  My 1st ever 700.  

It only took me 26 years, but I finally got it.  Oh and I had the highest series in the league for sweeps.  I think the nearest male was a 650 something. I am still on cloud 9.  My teammate said it couldn't have been better timing.  Sweeps or a tourney is the best time to hit a new milestone.

I just wanted to share.  Some of you on this board have helped me make the improvements, especially janderson.  Thanks for the tips on the mental game, I believed and it happened.
